GRILLED BALSAMIC VINEGAR PEACHES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, bring vinegar to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half (15-20 minutes).

• Heat the grill to medium. Keep glaze warm so it does not harden up.
• Brush each cut side with oil and place cut down on the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes and flip. Brush the cooked tops with the glaze and cook for about two more minutes.

• Serve with extra glaze on the side.
